To care for Hindus globally and nationally the VHP has spread with great networks and people. Now globally Hindus are a formidable strength contributing in the economy, education, industry, social development of the country where they work and live.
Despite Hindu Human Rights violations in many countries like in Malaysia, Indonesia, Middle East, Pakistan, Bangla Desh, Sri Lanka etc, Hindus are known for their commitment, genius and integrity. VHP has been their rallying force since the past 50 years.
Hindus have always been on the forefront of technological revolutions while guarding their religious identity and rich cultural heritage. VHP looks forward to a grand blend of the culture and today’s aspirations of Hindus through such conferences. VHP is planning to extend the exchange of ideas beyond World Hindu Congress to the smaller group’s discussions time to time. These groups will have representation from all walks of life from the world and Bharat.
VHP’s World Hindu Congress is one of the steps after the Mumbai meeting at Chinmay Aashram on Janmashtami 2014. To carry out VHP’s Vision 2025 with the support of RSS, sadhus ,saints and experts in many fields of life globally and nationally. VHP has organised around 600 Hindu sammelans all over Bharat this year.
